I never meant the patch to Apple's headers to be more than an 
experiment since I didn't think it would be possible to get Apple to 
make that change, even if it is a good idea.  It does seem better to 
use "long" instead of "long long" fir 64 bit types when __LP64__ is 
set, but it doesn't really matter so long as things are consistent and 
getting a patch into GLib will be a lot easier.

Thanks for the patch, it seems to work fine.  As I mentioned, MacPorts 
has a bunch of changes in GLib's configure already, but most of them 
seem to be from years ago and are probably no longer relevant.  I threw 
them all away and regenerated configure from configure.ac and it built 
without problem.  GnuCash then built without error using this GLib.
